Compendium of Spells for Fire Prevention

Wouldn’t it be convenient if torrential downpours could be magically harnessed to miraculously appear on cue whenever a fire needed extinguishing? This spell attempts to achieve that miracle. Collect rainwater and let it chill in the refrigerator. Place mistletoe in a white or blue bag. Soak this bag in the rainwater. Squeeze out excess moisture and hang the bag up in your home to dry. It will now serve as a protective amulet against fires.
Other amulets that allegedly prevent house fires include:
A resident happy, content tri-colored cat
An image or statue of Maneki Neko, the Beckoning Cat
Dried shed snakeskin hanging from the roof
Pieces of larch wood kept in the house allegedly prevent fires.
